About
Edwina Bracken has continued to develop her practice to work across disciplines and to explore the boundaries of painting within the expanded field. 3d forms counterpoint 2d works to draw attention to the notion of liminal space, materiality, value and reproduction.
Remote Proximities is an ambitious exhibition of painting, drawing and sculpture. Geometric shapes and mathematics form the basis from which all elements in the installation derive. These forms act as a metaphor to describe the root of ideas in the interior cognitive world and also reference the materiality those ideas inhabit in the physical world. In their raw form they present an ideal aesthetic which allows for a sensitive investigation of materiality and form in both 2d and 3d media. The dialogue and relationship between the different works and media, reference and address the tension and assimilation between 2d and 3d space.
Recent exhibitions include the Royal Scottish Academy, Paisley Museum and Central Hall Westminster London. Bracken has also completed several residencies at the Dumfries House Estate and she will be the artist in residence at the Mart Gallery in Dublin in May.
Edwina Bracken's work has been featured on Scottish and Irish television and in art and news publications. Her work is held in the collection of HRH Prince of Wales Trust and in many private and corporate collections internationally.
